RECENT EXTRAVAGONZO AUDIO POSTED

Friday, February 26th, 2010

 Finally! Technical issues and my laziness and the storm related OT that has left me an early to bed kinda guy more so than usual, have been resolved and the audio of our last two Extravagonzo’s is now ready for downloading and should be streaming live.

As usual, the shows are relatively representative of what we do and why we were recently voted the Internets ‘Best radio program for people with eclectic and weird tastes who lack the taste, class and personal respect to listen to something better’ (by the Institute of Recent Polls Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of 11L/RNI)).

So if you missed any or all of our recent outings please catch up while you have the chance and while I enjoy (hopefully) my ‘off’ week (so to speak, as it can be argued that I am ‘off’ every week!) until we reconvene with more silliness and seriousness in the mix you crave, on March 7th.

LIVE LIGHTNING THIS SUNDAY

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

 

It’s another bi-weekly meeting of the Bi-Polar Bears Club, as chilly New York’s remnants of the original RNI pirate crew take to the net for another 2 or 3 hours of unbridled lunacy and lucidity, as 11L/RNI and your radio pally John P. Lightning extends himself once more for your infotainment.

Drop whatever other plans you may have made for Sunday evening, and bask in the soothing, cool emoluments of the talk and more show that is America’s best kept radio secret… DAMNIT!… Radio New York International.

PRE GAME FESTIVITIES: Commence at 7:30 Eastern

JOHN P. LIGHTNING & COMPANY: Saunters in at about 8 Eastern

See you on the radio (so to speak)

Palin Says Family Guy Offends Her ‘As a Fellow Cartoon’

Friday, February 19th, 2010

 NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - Continuing her attack on the animated program “Family Guy,” former Alaska governor Sarah Palin said today that she was particularly offended by the show “as a fellow cartoon.”

“It always hurts to be attacked, but when you’re attacked by one of your own, that’s particularly hurting,” she said.

Gov. Palin says that the “Family Guy” attacks on her “highlight a growing problem in our society” which she called “cartoon-on-cartoon violence.”

She said that she planned to hold a “Cartoon Summit” to discuss the issue and would invite the country’s leading cartoon characters, including Homer Simpson, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Glenn Beck.

ANOTHER CLASSIC

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Our last Extravagonzo was yet another classic example of the infotainment we provide.

With my angry show open (as I ripped into the Big Guy) and as I threatened to spin totally out of control, I knew it would be a keeper.

The show will be available for downloading and streaming on Wednesday. I’ve been toiling on the railroad late into the PM hours, so I have not been at the 11L facility to upload the show yet.

If you missed it in favor of the Stupid Bowl, redeem yourself, you callous cad, and download or listen commencing Wednesday to another unedited, as it happened, warts and all edition of Original Formula Radio NewYork International.

And be sure to join Brother Dave this week, as he lays down the musical bed of dreams you should comfortably lay upon this week, as he cues up another three hours of essential music. As always, we thank you for your fealty to 11L/RNI… from New York City to the world!

Mr. Kyosuke said that the company considered, but then abandoned, the slogan, “Toyota. The Last Car You’ll Ever Drive.”

FOOTBALL FREE SUNDAY

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

 

RNI shall be all new and ALL LIVE, as I step behind the big microphone once more to regale you with whatever I deem appropriate, as we ignore the Stupor Bowl and bring you another 2 or 3 hours of talk to tame your pre Monday blues.

I advise you join us at the usual links, with our pre-game music interlude at 7:30 ish Eastern Time, and then your EXTRAVAGONZO, straight up at 8 PM.

See you on the radio.

John L

PS: Thanks to the Big Guy, most of our programming archives are back on-line for your listening edification. Luxuriate in downloading them as desired.

CHESTY McCLEAVAGE ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR NEW YORK SENATE SEAT

Monday, February 1st, 2010

(Special to 11L/RNI)

Chesty McCleavage, international porn star, perhaps most famous for her role in Stephen Sploogberg’s infamous five boner suck and sleaze classic ‘BRABREAK MOUNTAINS’, announced her intention to throw her 48 triple D’s in the ring, and run in this falls New York State Senate race.

Born in Juggsville Arkansas, and now residing in California’s Silicon Valley, Miss McCleavage said that she was encouraged to run after witnessing the come from behind victory of Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts. Mr. Brown much like Miss McCleavage, has been a person used for gratification purposes, having once posed nude for Cosmopolitan magazine.

‘I think, er, like the people of New York, er, the state, need someone like me to, like, shake things up’, she said, while thrusting her rack of renowned at reporters, causing an eye injury to an AP photographer.

‘I’m like, the breast candidate for the job’, she said with a Palinesque wink, continuing, ‘unlike most politicians who just fuck people in public, I know what its like to get fucked in public’.

When one reporter asked her just what her credentials to run for the Senate seat were, she replied ‘Are you blind hon’?

When another suggested that her planned move to New York City’s Tenderloin District would make her a carpetbagger, a charge also levied at Tennessee congressman Harold Ford, who is considering running for the same seat, Miss McCleavage replied ‘Er like I’m no carpetbagger, actually I’m more of a carpet muncher’ an obvious reference to her movie role opposite Clitoria Whole, starring as sappho sisters in the 2008 lesbian adventure ‘Return to Hootersville’.

Asked if she could identify the capitol of New York State, she heaved her chest forward and said ‘Duh, that would be the Pussycat Lounge silly’, which prompted much laughter from the assembled media. Keeping her composure she then said ‘Lookit, I can take on big… issues, and like, I’m a lot easier on the eyes than that dykie lookin’ bitch Kirsten Gillibrand.

Despite the derisive treatment from the press, Chesty had her share of supporters carrying signs, including ones proclaiming “Chesty 2012 in the Ovals Office’, ‘Put Chesty under the big top’, and ‘Chesty’s the one… or is that two?’

11L/RNI ARCHIVES DOWN

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Due to the proverbial ‘Circumstances beyond our control’, the Radio NewYork International archive of past programs and our web stream are temporarily unavailable.

A hardware failure at the site of our server has resulted in the loss of that drive. Hopefully all the files are backed up as they’re supposed to be, and will be available again within a few days. We shall keep you posted.

Hollywood Eager to Finally Fuck Up Catcher in the Rye

Monday, February 1st, 2010

HOLLYWOOD (The Borowitz Report) - Just hours after author J.D. Salinger passed away at his New Hampshire home on Wednesday, Hollywood studios were salivating at the chance to finally ruin his masterpiece, Catcher in the Rye.

“If we are fortunate enough to acquire the rights to Mr. Salinger’s book, we pledge to stay faithful to the spirit of Catcher in the Rye,” said Dougy Binstock, a producer at Columbia Pictures. “And the best way to do that is by producing it as a rock opera.”

But even as Mr. Binstock was bidding for the rights to produce a film he hopes to call Phantom of the Rye, Mindy Hammerfur, an executive at Paramount Pictures, said that she thought Salinger’s book was “seriously in need of a reboot.”
